Well, having spoken to fans at the Exeter game - I know many have voiced that they do not believe this is the case that the club is actually up for sale.

Myself I think they are trying to show potential buyers that the club is well cared for, by this I mean simply that the structure is already there for buyers. I do have some doubts, yet I think from the logical point of view - no buyer will want to take a ship which people are jumping from. Considering 'supposedly' an assistant manager wouldn't come in under Fullarton - yet we can attract the manager most would have been happy with in the first place.

The smoke signals are perhaps a little confusing.

What do you have your doubts about? That the club is up for sale? Do you think we are lying?

What smoke signals?

 

@liampie no idea.

I'll just say that when selling a business, every stage of the dealings is not out there for public consumption. Partly this is covered by an NDA. Obviously, there are occasions when potential buyers are not discrete, but that is never beneficial to progress. Why do people think something is not right?

A manager was needed. An Operational CEO was needed, the business needs to continue running. As for the media side of things, one was in place prior to sale and the other had already been interviewed and accepted our offer but had notice to work. Added to this, RT and myself are still Directors and owners. There's still a job to do.

Which is exactly what I have been trying to say..............if I was trying to sell this hotel (offers are invited!)......I still need to cut the sodding grass, and if I haven't got time to do it myself .....then I employ a gardener.......actually PP/ @erindoors....I am pretty sure that you could have got more points than JF managed, if you had managed the team yourself!!..................................plus you could have pocketed his wages.

Why are people still trying to say that somehow and somewhere Mr and Mrs T are hiding something....or deliberately lying?

The problem is here that certain "keyboard warriors" (not on here I hasten to add)...... are determined to twist the knife, and actually it's pretty sad and pathetic.

ps @erindoors, your namesake goat is doing pretty well.

Myself and Miriam have sat outside under a palm tree all afternoon keeping an eye on her, fingers crossed, 8 days old and counting........another 20 days and she will be as feisty as you!!

Thanks for the update on Aileen, Tarqs. God help you if she turns out as feisty as me...

The only thing I'd say re your post is that, while people may not be foul mouthed on here, there Are constant insinuations that we are lying about possible buyers and an agreement in principle being reached. It all amounts to the same thing at the end of the day - knife twisting and it's there for all to see....

I for one don't think you are lying but I think people only believe what they can see and as many things are hush hush regarding the sale of the club (NDAs ect) I think people start to wonder why everything is hush hush, myself included I only believe what I can see, I don't think you are lying but naturally I want to know as much as possible which is why I wouldn't take it personally, but I'm sure people will always be respectful to you here

I've explained why discretion is key when negotiations are in place. Most potential buyers or sellers will not send snippets out on social media, thank goodness, as it's damaging and misleading. People on here don't usually say "they are lying" but use more subtle phrases such as "i find it hard to believe" or"do you buy the story" and "if there really is a buyer"   more recently "just a bargaining ploy"  Strange, when it's been clearly stated that there is genuine interest and productive talks.
